Wow!

Brilliant narrator who leveled up to the music content! An orgasmic sensory experience that provide context and nuance to the genius of Stevie Wonder. Requires reading for all fans.

Captures snapshot of African American summer house life. Accurate and authentic. Highly relatable to my experience.

Perpetuates negative stereotypes about white women of privilege

Revisado: 05-13-23

The main character was self-absorbed and selfish which rendered her unlikable. She played the victim way too much. Rescued at the end but not worthy of the rescue.

Not sure if the challenge was..

Revisado: 02-14-23

Being the token black girl or being a soul that was not grounded in a value system that could withstand being underrepresented or different. I wonder if the lived experience would’ve been any different if Danielle had grown up in predominately black spaces. I still envision her being mean, resentful and letting comparison be the thief of her joy. I think that the emptiness and absence of empathy and substance would’ve still existed. I hope that this next chapter brings Danielle some peace, contentment and faith in something beyond wordly things.

Brimming over with inspiration and wisdom

Revisado: 01-24-23

I cannot praise the insights of perspectives that forever First Lady, Michelle Obama shared in this latest book. Everyone can find something in it that serves as a beacon— a clarion call— to do the needed work to achieve our dreams, be a credit to society and to enjoy the journey.

Powerful and passionate

Revisado: 12-06-20

I could not stop listening. The author did a masterful job of humanizing the imprisoned. Barnett took us on a journey of tremendous pain and injustice but kept us hopeful. I’m motivated to help change the inhumanity of the justice system.

A bit too long...

Revisado: 09-09-20

I understand that this experience was traumatic and life altering but the book was about too long by half. Although well written, it was also just too self absorbed and self indulgent. A lot of it should’ve been left in the dear diary space and not shared with the reading public. Mom was portrayed harshly without offering up facts, not just conclusions, in support of this stance. I do hope that the author will let “Dan” and his family live in peace. Shapiro has a full and rich life by all accounts. Move on and live it.

I want my money back.

Revisado: 11-16-18

so... Sue Watson... I have a question. Did your editor tell you that you had to stretch a five hour story into a ten hour story? Repetitive, redundant with no characters that created any interest or curiosity in the reader. Mean husband who mistreats wife, she drinks, she takes pills, she questions her sanity. Repeat 100 times and you have "Our Little Lies". By the end of the story, I just wanted it to be over. Didn't care what happened.

Why waste writing talent in such an odious characters?

Revisado: 09-17-18

Too much time spent on Helen and Matthew. Could not work up enthusiasm to care what happened to such selfish people.
